Introduction: , a medical plant found in sub-Saharan Africa and the Western Ghats of India, shows promise as a potential source of bioactive compounds to treat cancer. In our ongoing research on folk medical plants, we report the isolation of flavonoid compound from the stem bark of along with its cytotoxic activity against breast cancer (MCF-7 and T47D), and cervical cancer (HeLa) cell lines.
Purpose: This study aimed to isolate secondary metabolite from the stem bark of and evaluate its cytotoxic activity to support the use of folk medicinal plants as alternative therapy against cancer.
Breast milk serves as the primary source of nourishment for newborns. In cases of low milk production, one approach to address this challenge involves the consumption of lactagogues. Chicken-herb essence, a beverage rich in protein, amino acids, and minerals, presents itself as a viable option to supplement a lactating mother's diet, particularly in terms of protein intake.

One of the strategies for broadening the photo absorption range and improving light harvesting is to modify a one-dimensional (1D) nanostructure to a three-dimensional (3D) ZnO superstructure coupling with a narrow-bandgap material, in this case, a graphene quantum dot photosensitizer. Herein, we studied the effect of sulfur and nitrogen co-doped graphene quantum dot (S,N-GQD) sensitization on the surface of ZnO nanopencil (ZnO NPc) to give a photoanode in the visible light spectrum.

Solar energy is the focus of numerous studies due to its huge potential power and environmentally friendly nature. Furthermore, one such area of study is the production of hydrogen energy by engaging photocatalysts using the photoelectrochemical (PEC) method.
